It has the basic rudimentary shape, but I do notice some intricate details and accuracy issues, such as the headlights and front grill are too basic. The side mirrors are missing. The turret ring bars don't have the lightening holes. The doors are missing the raised top diagonal angle where the handle is. And I'm wondering if the tires are large enough. IMHO, the kit needs more parts and PE because the Flyer72 has a lot of grab handles and tie downs. I mean these are areas that are readily apparent from just looking at web photos (for example, take a look at how large the tires on the real Flyer72 are compared to the body).
Perhaps another aftermarket resin company can add and modify some components. I agree...I hope it's not too expensive.
I cheer for the idea of a 1/35 Flyer72 kit, but of course I want one done correctly. I guess I am spoiled with the USSOCOM version as this Flyer72 does represent a standard (2014) Flyer72 pretty well.
To me it seems like this kit was one of the earlier Flyer72s (2014).
Take a look at the Flyer72 today, entering USSOCOM service.
It's a Flyer72 all right, but it's not the USSOCOM's Flyer72 (with supposedly larger tires, more tie downs, redesigned doors and redesigned angled hood, no side panels, racks over the headlights, and other modifications). I also think the USSOCOM Flyer72 may be squatter to fit inside the V-22 and the windshield and rear rowbar angles seem more raked.
Sorry for the nitpicking, but I equate the Flyer72 to USSOCOM's latest version and that was the kit I was hoping for.
